Day 3

Saturday we woke up with our skin a little toasted so we decided to take a break from the sun and head to one of the waterfalls close by. After an early morning run on the beach we showered, ate, and headed out in "the bucket" for the Llanos Cortez Waterfall which is about 20km south of Liberia. We had no idea what to expect really, both of secretly were thinking it might be kind of lame and were pleasantly surprised when we came upon this sight...


WOW, totally worth the drive down the bumpy dirt road in the bucket. Seems that this spot is a watering hole for locals to picnic, swim and play in the waterfall. We both (separately) got in and swam out underneath it to get some photos. After hiking back to the car we headed to downtown Liberia for lunch which really wasn't all that impressive. It's definitely not a must see town so plan on skipping it unless you need to head to their version of Walmart. We headed home with our belly's full of pizza and beer for some downtime and to prep for dinner.
For dinner we decided to head into Coco Beach which is a 5 min drive and the beach just south of Hermosa. My mom had recommended the Papagauyo Seafood House so we headed there and a delicious meal full of seafood. If you like tuna sashimi and/or ceviche you should definitely order them as your appetizers.

Overall an amazing seafood meal for a reasonable price with great company. Cheers!
